Laura Micciche. Making a Case for Rhetorical Grammar.

Micciche, Laura R. "Making a Case for Rhetorical Grammar." CCC. 55.4 (2004): 716-737.

Abstract:

Rhetorical grammar analysis encourages students to view writing as a material social practice in which meaning is actively made, rather than passively relayed or effortlessly produced. The study of rhetorical grammar can demonstrate to students that language does purposeful, consequential work in the world: work that can be learned and applied.
